If you were given 876 million dollars, what would you do with it.

<p>who thought of bringing back my thread?</p>

<p>me .</p>

<p>what could have made you do such a thing?</p>

<p>I would... </p>

<p>Pay for College and Grad School and whatever I wanted
Pay off my parents house and buy them another one, one that they really liked. Give bonds to all of my family so that they are all taken care of.
Give to Charity (specifically a few million to the local library)
Buy myself a few apartments in different cities.
Become a life long scholar
Buy a smart car
Pay to have the animals in the arctic circle saved
Put it in a mondo savings account and collect obscene interest.</p>

<p>id probably pay all the debt that I have. buy a new car. a house for myself. and one for my family. and after all that i would get a Nintendo Wii. lol</p>

<p>p.s.
havent really been active here on the site lately. just wanted to say hello again.</p>

<p>I would be prepared to give up 38% of it to the US Government in taxes. Thus, I'll be left with around $543 million. I'd pay off my parents' mortgage or even buy a new house. I would pay my college and law school. I'd invest the rest because putting $540 or so million into the bank is dumb because the FDIC will only insure up to $250,000.</p>

<p>^ lol he just owned u all</p>

<p>I really severely dislike the use of the word "owned" I think it is... ________. Fill in the blank.</p>

<p>I'd buy a gigantic house, a huge Hummer H2, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and other prestige cars, give several & several millions to my family, buy my own hotel, buy my island, and donate to charity. This will all happen one day.</p>

<p>I'd buy Chipotle Burritos.</p>

<p>if i were given 876M i'd get rid of it as soon as possible because chances are there's a catch.</p>

<p>I'd go out and:</p>

<p>Pay for college: $250,000
Pay for law school: $250,000
Pay for my sister's prep school, college and whatever grad school she chooses: $750,000
Buy a private 737....why not?: $65 million
Buy the nicest condo in Greenwich Village or Chelsea or SoHo or Battery Park City or TriBeCa: $20 million
Buy a building someplace in Manhattan or Brooklyn and build a luxury condo and rent it out at exorbitant rents: $250 million
Buy a property or two all over the world: $100 million
Get myself into a law firm by buying equity in it and make it so that I can't get fired since I'll just pull my massive equity out: $20 million
Get my parents into a nice apartment someplace and support them thru retirement: $20 million
Maybe a car....I think I want a flying car: $750,000 (A maybach and driver included)
Mansion in the hamptons: $10 million
Hire an army of staff to do things for me: $20 million
Total: $507 million</p>

<p>Put the rest (about $349 mil) in index funds, watch the money grow 12% annually, and add a zero or two to my net worth.</p>

<p>I would......pay myself into Harvard!</p>

<p>i will bulid more schools for some african country.there are still a large of children have no change to take education for changing their fate.</p>

<p>The first thing I would do is call my accountant and lawyer and change my permanent address to Bermuda or Dubai.</p>

<p>Heh. Oxymoron.</p>

<p>I would use it as toilet paper</p>

<p>Cure Cancer
With the remaining, donate it to 3rd world countries.
I am a humanitarian at heart.</p>

<p>In all honesty, I'd probably just let it sit there, somewhere. Maybe buy a few albums...</p>
